How are you getting on with the TB6560?

How are you getting on with the TB6560?

One channel makes the stepper motor a bit noisy but I'm not using that one at present. Otherwise fine - no failure yet. I,ll sort out the noisy channel when I get round to making a rotary table.

Hi there! that's some brilliant work there thanks for sharing!
Can you re host the dxf for the leadscrew nuts as the link seems broken, unless im missing some thing!

thanks again!

[russell]

Sorry, I don't know what happened but for some reason a load of files have gone from my dropbox. Here they are again:
z-axis%20plan.dxf
Leadscrew_nuts.dxf
leadscrew%20support%20modified.dxf

Hope that works. Let me know if you have any problems.

Many Thanks for this Russell; I have one of these as a gift - long story. This is exactly what I need, but two questions: Roughly, what isthe Max height dimensions with the Z conversion fitted; and what stepper are you using to drive it.

Total height with head in highest position is 1.07 m. I can't remember the model number of the stepper motors but they are NMEA23 size and about 80 mm long.

Thanks,

I have enough headroom and I have Nema 24 motors 425 oz-in; I have done the screws and fitted the thrust bearings. Also have the acetal and the the Acme tap is on it way from china (20 quid). Will post when I have completed the nuts and mounted the X/Y motors and tested.
